89 - Behind the Scenes on Smoky Days: Personal Experiences and Life Lessons
Manage episode 375080605 series 3311975
A simple walk with my dog led me to creating this episode. On my walk, I noticed multiple cigarette butts on the side of the road. It is dry outside, and we have experienced drought conditions here for months on end. I could faintly smell the smoke coming in from outlying areas, and had to abort my "walk n' talk" episode because I became a little winded.
With forest fires raging in parts of western Canada, I found myself thinking about all the people who were recently forced to leave their homes. I sat down in my back yard, reminiscing of a time when I flight attended on northern aircraft in the 1990's and worked during a community evacuation. I thought about how grateful I am for the safety of family and friends.
I am a podcaster and this is what happens : one thought leads to another and soon I was recording an unplanned episode.
*My thoughts are with everyone who has been evacuated from their communities due to the fires, and especially with people who have lost their homes.
